From the linked web site:
"MoneyCheck is a fast-growing online publication launched in 2018 with the aim of covering personal finance and investment news.

Our goal is to simplify and explain in clear language, what can be a confusing jumble of terms and concepts. We hope to provide clear, unbiased facts so people can make up their own mind about important financial decisions."
Being curious and using same to gather knowledge about investments; I'll periodically "bite" at a title that pronounces "Complete Guide". One never knows about a new and undiscovered individual who may actually be qualified in a subject area; and with the rare gift of presenting subject information in a clear and defined manner. When such articles are discovered here and elsewhere, at a minimum, I pass these along to friends and family to help provide for continuing financial educational purposes.
BUT, I'm not quite sure what is going on with this "financial" write. Complete isn't a qualifying word with this. Periodically, one discovers some common terms for a U.S. marketplace, such as; CD's, 401k/403b, etf tickers, etc. As Mr. Oliver is an online media company owner, it is not clear whether he or a contributor wrote this article; nor to what are his or others qualifications to discuss some of the information provided. Or whether any number of the publications are for the sake of only generating revenue from site hits and clicks to other pages. While there is some valid info in the article, I don't find "complete" and if there is a click link to another page; I won't be traveling there.
A few of the head scratchers for me, from the article:
--- You might already own a 401(k) or IRA through your employer. However, you’ll only gain access to this cash when you turn 59.5-years old. If you have to draw down on your account before this date, you’ll end up paying penalties and fees on any money you withdraw.
>>> Well, yes and no. Ready cash for immediate needs = yes; as loans may be available from a 401k.
--- Visit your bank and open a Certificate of Deposit (CD) instead. Banks are always looking for more capital. By taking a CD with a bank, you agree to pay them a fixed amount every month in return for interest on your money.
>>> I must be out of the loop of knowledge for CD's as I don't know what, "agree to pay them a fixed amount every month", means.
--- Bonds are another attractive savings vehicle for long-term growth. Bonds couple interest earnings to the Federal Funds Rate, and you earn coupon payments on your principal investment. However, while relationships are a stable and liquid investment, they don’t offer much in the way of returns. At the moment, you can expect a yield of 1.75%, and if interest rates drop, then your profits do as well.
>>> Huh ???....." and if interest rates drop, then your profits do as well." Well, I think I know what he is trying to portray; but this would confuse the hell for most folks as to the relationship between bond yield movements and pricing to cause a profit or not.
Apparently, the writer hasn't kept up with U.S. bond funds returns for 2019, YTD.

IMHO, the article offers a few decent things to think about for some folks (considerations for owning a home), is very confusing in areas noted above and doesn't qualify as Investing 101, and COMPLETE is, well..............NOT even close, eh? Does Mr. Dale or others provide a peer review of the information before publishing?
Not an article I will pass forward to others; and I don't understand why this link/article found its way to this site.
Lastly, I don't plan to visit their GardenBeast site.

What are the Best Income Generating Assets? Complete Guide
You might have already heard the phrase, “rich people don’t work for money, they have their money work for them.”

Here is the news release from Royce regarding being Partners:
https://www.royceinvest.com/news/2019/4Q19/royce-associates-lp-rebrands-as-royce-investment-partners

Royce has gone from 34.32 billion in total assets in 2010 to 9.01 billion now per Morningstar, but even worse is Third Ave funds which had 10.53 billion in total assets in 2010 to 1.83 billion now. Massive drops indeed.

Royce & Associates has just announced a bold rebranding strategy. It "better describes the breadth of the firm's business and the importance it places on the spirit of partnership with which the company has always conducted itself ... it better represent[s] to all of our constituents who we are now as a firm ... it better represent[s] the range of our strategies." With a boldness surely inspired by their be-bowtied, soon-to-be-octagenarian founder, Royce and Associates has become ...
Royce Investment Partners!
Ta da!
Uhhh ... R.I.P.? Was that an inspired choice for a firm who's seen assets decline 17% in the past 12 months and 75% in the decade?
Here's the 12 year correlation between their flagship Pennsylvania Mutual (PENNX) fund and the 11 next-oldest funds in their lineup:
0.99%
0.95
0.98
0.96
0.99
0.98
0.96
0.96
0.94
0.95
0.95
And that's after liquidating much of the sea of clones they launched after Legg Mason bought them.
I got a heads up about the change from a reader, Brett Schneider, who concludes, "The joke writes itself. RIP."

The legacy pages of M* still let you do that.
Here's the link for the performance page of VFIAX. In Enter Tickers box of the Compare section, you can enter the tickers of the funds or ETFs that you want to compare. While the graph only goes back ten years, the table of returns ("Trailing Total Returns") has exactly the columns you asked for: annualized returns over 1,3,5,10, and 15 years.
http://performance.morningstar.com/fund/performance-return.action?t=VFIAX&region=usa&culture=en-US

Is there a site that you can compare 5 funds or etfs 1,3,5, 10, and going out to 15 years annualized returns?

https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/best-worst-performing-commodity-etfs?nopaging=1
Best and worst commodity etf
In a year in which financial assets across the board have surged, commodities haven’t been left out.

LEXCX would be good if it had a lower ER. Sorry, for an essentially unmanaged fund, the ER should be like .15 or less.

Here is a performance chart comparison (see link below) of FDYZX which include other funds that were around in 1968...such as LEXCX, VWINX, VWELX.
LEXCX would have been a better all stock fund choice. I find that a mutual fund needs a consistent higher upside capture (I'll call this alpha) in order to overcome its periodic downside. LEXCX achieved this "two steps forward...one step back" over the long term much more so that FDYZX has.
VWINX and VWELX even achieve a better performance ride most of time and with a lot less volatility compared to FDYZX.
Chart Comparison

FDYZX would still be better if you can buy it, since it carries no 12b-1 fee.

By the way - what is a full market cycle?

Good question. I’ve seen different definitions and I don’t believe any of them. Hussman claims he understands and that he’s investing based on a full market cycle - and look what’s happened to him. I’d say it’s not something you can measure in years, but rather by major trends and turning points (whatever they are).
If you want to look at years however, take a look at this performance chart for DODBX. It doesn’t go all the way back to the fund’s birth sometime in the 1920s. But it does give performance for every year beginning in 1961 - which happens to be the year I entered high school. So - I’d assume there’s a complete market cycle in there somewhere.
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DODBX/performance?p=DODBX
Added: I looked at Investopedia expecting to find the simple (and inadequate) standard definition of a market cycle as: the period during which an equity market travels from “peak” to “trough” and back to a new “peak” again. To their credit, they indicate (as I suggested) that identifying a market cycle is far more complex and difficult. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/market_cycles.asp

@hank- Sounds like a great project for you on a snowy day up in your cabin...:)

@Old_Joe - Thanks for the suggestion. I was already hard at work compiling all that stuff when BECKMANB posted his great response in the “Find a Good Site to Observe 2008 Fund Results” thread (above) tonight.
Kinda took the fun out of the evening. But I owe you one none the less. :)

+1 @BECKMANB
I just did that for QVOPX (alternative investment). It pulled up the -22% in 2008 (which I was more/less aware of) and went back even farther. Awesome resource. Who would’ve thunk Yahoo?
When buying a new fund, there are many metrics to consider. But for a real stress test that 2008 figure is worth taking a good hard look at.

MikeM,
So, is China nothing....but just like 15 years ago? Would you say cars from 15 years ago are the same today? Move on, bro. You're behind. If it's not all that, then why is our government so worried?
God bless

...I am looking to Asia/China. It's where the future is...

Hmm, very reminiscent of what I heard 15+ years ago on this board. And my reply then, not in our life time.

My wife and I opened Roth IRAs at the end of 1998, at Fidelity. At that time. we only invested in mutual funds. We figured on a long time frame so I wasn't worried about volatility. I told her "here are the two best Fidelity funds -- Select Electronics and Select Home Finance. Which do you want."
She said "I want the very best one."
So we put her $2000 in FSELX. (2K was the max annual Roth IRA contribution back then.) Two years later we put another $4000 in FSELX.
Now it's worth $30,330. Fidelity calculates the total gain at 405%.
That's certainly been helped by 60% this year.
Meanwhile, I put my $2000 in Home Finance, which went in the tank in 2008.
So that's been dumped.
But I did buy a bunch of FSELX in my Fidelity 403b a few years ago (now my Rollover IRA).
It tilts our portfolio to "aggressive", for sure. We balance it with some dividend-paying stocks and S&P 500 funds and ETFs.
I feel more lucky than smart about it all.
